Healthcare discrimination and Mental Health through Self Image

Created by T.T. on August 26, 2013

In this country there are so many people with health insurance claims many might seem frivolous. Drug addicts can use the healthcare system for rehabilitation, overweight people can use it for surgeries such as gastric bypass and lap band. Acne medication can even be covered at times which is completely cosmetic but yet MPB is not. Both men and women suffer from this and it destroys your self image, and deteriorates your mental health. Insurance companies will pay for us to have all the depression medications in the world but not even help with what the root of the problem is for many people.
Venture onto the internet and read some of the disturbing stories form people who suffer from hair loss.
I simply feel if Insurance will pay for weight loss surgery then hair loss should be covered
